Abstract
According to one implementation, a damage detection system includes optical paths, a light source, a photodetector, and a signal processing system, a signal processing system. The optical paths propagate lights in at least three different directions. The optical paths have at least two paths per one direction. The light source makes the lights incident on one ends of the optical paths respectively. The photodetector detects the lights output from other ends of the optical paths. The signal processing system specifies at least one location of damage based on optical detection signals detected by the photodetector.
